Each of the association’s member schools will now get to vote on the potential limit, and if a majority of votes are in favor of them, they’ll go into effect this fall.

The association considers full contact to be live action where players are being taken to the ground.

Under the new restrictions, players can only practice full-contact drills for 30 minutes each day. There’s a weekly 120 minutes during the first couple of weeks, and it goes down to 90 minutes a week for the remainder of the season.

The association said many coaches have already taken it upon themselves to implement similar limits.

The association feels it needs to do everything it can to keep kids, particularly their brains, as safe as possible. During the past few years the health risks and complications that come from concussions have been the talk of every level of organized football, up to the National Football League.

Medical research suggests that repeated blows to the head are causing football players trouble down the road. Thousands of former NFL players said they now suffer from memory loss and depression from concussions suffered during their career.

Some states are considering banning tackle football and replacing it with flag football. Other sports like hockey and soccer are also being scrutinized.

The association said it may consider restrictions beyond the football field in the future.
